Does the District Need More Plumb.
ing Regulations!
To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
Referring to THE STARS editorial on plumbing
regulations for the District, we claim and as
master plumbers we think, we are competent to
judge that II the law is enforced it would be If
we had competent and practical Inspector there
would not be any danger to the public from sewer
gas Then II The public was endangered the
plumber should not be blamed; rather ,lhOse who
mad the law. The plumber to-day, II the In
spector does his duty, has no discretion either in
the way tne work Is done or the material he uses
as both work and material are very explicitly
called for In tine regulations made Nov. II, 1882
We Will also state that Congress has already
made excellent headway toward protecting
the citizens OF the District from sewer gas.
p pRn % snSas w
W. Will guarantee the plumbing law will be en-
sorced iuteLgently; and If the Inspector has half
the energy OF some OF our prominent master plumb
ers h Will see that all plumbing is properly DONE
We hope II Congress sees ut TO act any further In
the matter, that our Representatives VIII never
give the Commissioners power to appoint star
chamber board composed or employees OF the Dis
trict Office who know nothing about plumbing.
